Adlan Elamin Adlan Elamin 6'8" | SF Paul VI | 2025 State #266 Nation VA | Paul VI ’25
Elamin showcased his versatility for the Panthers as a scoring threat or a playmaker. The lanky wing impressed with his off-ball movement both in half-court and while filling the lanes in transition. Elamin is a threat to shoot from the outside or back down a smaller foe. He is a threat to block shots and has the court vision to set up teammates for easy looks.
Brian Kennedy Brian Kennedy 5'10" | PG South Lakes | 2024 State VA | South Lakes ‘24
Kennedy is a game-changer on both sides of the ball for the Seahawks. He sets the tone defensively, where he is very vigilant in applying relentless ball pressure and fighting for every 50/50 ball. Kennedy must also be accounted for offensively because he is assertive as a scorer from around the basket or behind the arc.
Jordan Hunter Jordan Hunter 6'1" | PG Paul VI | 2026 State VA | Paul VI ’26
Hunter has grown and added some bulk since his freshman season. I was impressed with his activity level on defense. Hunter pressured foes consistently in the backcourt and helped clean the glass from the lead guard spot. His efficiency with the ball was notable. Hunter used ball fakes, attacked closeouts, and thrived as a finisher in transition. His passing was also commendable.
John Opiola John Opiola 6'3" | SF Potomac Falls | 2024 State VA | Potomac Falls ’24
The hallmarks of Opiola’s game are toughness and hustle. He wins 50/50’s regularly, is always available for dump-offs, and has a soft touch when finishing around the basket.
Jayson Peterson Jayson Peterson 6'8" | C Bullis | 2025 State MD | Bullis ’25
Peterson’s effort on the glass, particularly the offensive glass, was tremendous. His face-up skills are expanding as well. Peterson also showed that he can play off two feet in the paint.
David Rochester David Rochester 6'8" | SG South Lakes | 2024 State VA | South Lakes ’24
Rochester thrived in the mid-range areas where he showcased confidence in his pull-up jumper. He also collected a fair number of defensive rebounds.
Garrett Sundra Garrett Sundra 6'11" | C Paul VI | 2024 State #148 Nation VA | Paul VI ‘24
It felt like Sundra played a perfect game vs. Bullis. He started the contest by rotating in position to draw a charge. Sundra played solid defense at the point of attack throughout and understands how to sell contact. He provided floor spacing while staying shot-ready, and completed some solid passes.
